The strange thing is I hold The Dragon Age series up as example of diversity and choice, the fact that the brothels in DA service everybody, male/female with multiple options, to remove the brothels is a step backwards for diversity IMO

I'm 27!
Well, that's what I've been telling everybody for the last 16 years. Find an age you like and stick with it, I say!

Because of Rush's age, and the infrequency with which they visit these shores, the last few times they've been over, I've dragged Mrs Boo to both nights at Wembley 'just in case it's the last time they're here'.

With only one night at the o2, I'm tempted to try and grab tickets for one of the other nights. We could stay with my in-laws and go to the Manchester show.

Trouble is, the prices are mental.

Last time round, 2 tickets x 2 nights at Wembley, plus a couple of shirts, a badge and a program came to something like £300.

Still - they're worth it.

Heard the single, Caravan? Sounds great - presumably something left over from the Snakes And Arrows sessions, as it could have come straight off that album.

It IS expensive, but OMG worth it this time out. I might try for another gig too - my mum lives in Bolton, so I could stay with her and fly back from Manchester
The new album is sounding like a winner, going by the two new tracks that play on the site - Caravan is one of the two.

Sounds like you like the earlier stuff. I came in at GUP, then started working backwards and forwards.

I quite like the earlier stuff, but (whisper it) don't actually go a bundle on 2112!! If the house was on fire, and I could only save one, I'd have to grab Power Windows - love that album.
Then again, Roll The Bones, Hold Your Fire, Counterparts & SAA would all come close.

Hope they're still doing the 'play the whole of Moving Pictures' thing when they get here.

Ah fair enough I just remember my older brothers banging on about how fantastic they were when I was a teen and just not getting it. I'm sure it will be a great trip though.

Try them again A Farewell To Kings, Grace Under Pressure, Moving Pictures and Permanent Waves should let you know if you'll like them or not

Maybe... but then again I did have ~5 years of constant exposure to them as a teen in the 80s and we never clicked. I liked the music a lot (epic guitar!) but it's the vocals that never captured me, same with Journey and Yes.
